It should bo a geiiuml (intctlcn with
farmers to Kiithcr tij) all tho sods, weeilo,
and even tho year's growth of briars,
bushes, etc., and stack them In largo
compact heap?, there to remain for from
ono to two ycaw, or until they become
properly decomposed, and resolved into
ono mass. U would take, but little tlmo
to gather tho e, while In doing so tho
fields would bo cleared of this trash,
which, If left to remain, obstruct tho
growth of plants and encourage tho In
ercaso of the.so drawbacks to growing
crops. Tho "inanuro" which ought to
be produced on n farm of nn hundred
acres by this process, would hardly bo
believed until properly put In opera
Hon. Hut Wo can cay In advance that
there ought to bo realized, at tho low
est calculation, one cart load per acre.
This substance Is extremely valuable
for gardens, and especially for corn, as
wcllas forsolls of a heavy and tenacious
character.
We. havo been convinced that this
part of a farmer's business has not near
ly been so generally attended to as It
ought to bo. In tho pursuit ofagrlcul'
turo thcro are as negligent and Indlflfer
cut nirmcrs as other uusinc.-s men.
Somo, Indeed, appear to havo no desire
to succeed, or to make moro than a more
from hand-to-mouth living j they ncv
cr learn anything from tho cxpcricuco
nnd oxnmplo of their moro energetic
and thriving neighbors. They know
enough, and heneo aro content to hum
drumthelr lives away,lcavingthclrchll

possess superior innate faculties of their

In passing through agricultural dis
tricts tlio observant person sees mnny
different phases of farming. He con
stantly notices where tho eye and hand
of tho intelligent, attentivo and succiss
ful farmer belong. Ho requires no guide
to point out to 1dm where tho soil ns
well ns the mind lias been improved
llosees no failure of crops there unless
through tho visitation of agencies over
which man has no control. Even severo
drought has llttlo effect upon his crops
Judicious manuring and thorough till-
ago and draining alono work these ng
ricultural wonders. Who, then, who

The Canada Thistle l.nw.
We have already mentioned that sev
eral of tho State Legislatures havo lately
enacted laws against tho Canada thistle,
and wo trust they all will whenover
thero isthe least dangerof itsmaklnglts
appearance.
In our own legislature, it will bo re
membered, some flvo years ago thcro
was a similar law passed against tins.
tho vilest of all tho encumbrances of a
farm mortgages scarcely oxcoptcd
Tlds law provides, in elfect, that, "Hero
after any individualorcorporation allow
ing tho Canada Thistloto ripen seed on
Ids or their premises, shall bo liablo to
a fine of ten dollars, upon each com
plaint that Is p operly .established; and
any ono who may fear tho spread of the
v anada Thistle upon his premises from
tho lands of his careless or thriftless
neighbor; may, after flvo days' notice,
enter upon any lands where tho weed is
found growing, cut it, and recover full
costs for tho labor nnd trouble."
This is to tho point, and in order that
farmers may know it tho newspapers
throughout tho State should republish
tho law or this article. If tho people
of Pennsylvania could too to what a
formidable extent this pest has taken
possession of several of tho interior
counties of Now York, say Schohario
for instance, they would fly to arms
against It as they would an Invading
army.
Strawberry lletls.
Tun necessity of renewlngstrawberry
beds every two years has been a draw
back to their cultivation .with somo peo
ple. Every season tho strawberry plant
makes a now set of roots, each higher
up than those of tho preceding year,
which limits its productiveness to one
or two beasons. Mr. John Dingwall
says, In tho Country Gentleman that he
prolongs their productiveness by tho
following method :
"After tho fruit lias been gathered,
take good, rich compost, and lay it in
around tho plants, to tho depth of ono
inch or ono Inch nnd a half thus you
bring up your fcoil to meet tho wants of
tho i lants , and continue their produc
tiveness for a number of years longer,
This I havo proven from experienco,
nnd havo found it very satisfactory. It
would bo equally advantageous wheth
er grown in mils or in rows." Thosug.
gestlon is certainly worthy of attention,

11 Y tho side of it wood, In n country u
long way oir,ran ailno stream of water-,
and upon the stream thcro stood a mill.
Tho miller's liouo was.closo by, nnd
tho miller, you must know, had a very
beautiful daughter. Sho was, moreover,
very fhrewd nnd clever ; nnd tho mil
ler was so proud of her, Hint ho ono day
told the king of the laud, who used to
como nnd hunt in the wood, that his
daughter could spin gold out of straw.
Nowthls kingM'.w -cry fond of money ;
and when ho heard tho miller's boast
Ids greediness was raised, and ho tent
for tho girl to be brought beforo him.
Then ho led her ton chamber In his pal
ace whero thero was n great heap of
straw, nnd gavo her a spinning-wheel,
and said, "All this mint be spun Into
gold before morning, as you love your
life." It was in vain that tho poor
maiden said that It was only a silly
boast of her father, for Hint she could do
no hitch n thing as spin straw Into gold
the chamber door was locked, ami hIio
was left mono.
Sho tut down in ono comer of tho
room, and began to bewnil her hard fate;
when on a sudden the door opened, nnd
a droll-looking llttlo man hobbled In,
and said, "Good morrow to you my
good lass: what are you weeping for?"
"Alas I" said she. "I must spin this
straw into gold, and 1 know not how."
"What will you give mo," said the hob
goblin, "to do It for you?" "My neck
lace," replied tho maiden. Ho took
her at her word, nnd Mit himself down
to tho wheel, and whistled and sang,
"Hound about, ruimtl about,
IiO nml behold I
Heel away, reel away,
Straw Into Bolil"
And round about the wheel went merir
ly j tho work was quickly done, and tho
straw was nil spun Into gold.
When tho king camo and saw this, lie
was greatly astonished and pleased ;
but his heart grow still moro greedy of
gain, and ho shut up tho poor miller's
daughter ngain with a fresh task. Then
sho know not what to do, and sat down
once more to weep; but the dwarf soon
opened tho door, and said, "What will
yougivometodo your task '!" "Tho ring
on my finger," said slie. So her llttlo
friend took tho ring, and began to work
at tho wheel again, and whistled and
sang,
Ilouutl about, loutulabout,
I.O timl behold t
Herl away, reel away,
Straw Into goldl'"
till, long bcfoio morning, all was done
again.
Tho king was greatly delighted to seo
all this glittering treasure ; but still ho
had not enough : so ho took tho miller's
daughter to a yet larger heap, and,
said, "AH this must bo spun to-night-;
and if it is you shall bo my queen." As
soon as sho was alono the dwarf came in
and said, "What will you give mo to
spin gold this third timo?" "I havo
nothing left," said sho. "Then say you
will give me," said tho llttlo man, "tho
first little child that you may havo when
you aro queen." "That may never be,"
thought tho miller's daughter: and as
she know no other way to get her task
done, sho said sho would ilo what ho
asked. Round went tho wheel again to
the old song, and thcmanlkin once more
spun the heap into gold. The king
camo in the morning, and finding all ho
wanted, was forced to keep his word;
so he married the iuillor'sdaughtcr,and
she really became queen.
At tho birth of her first child sho wn$
very glad, and forgot tho dwnrf, and
what she had said. Rut olioday ho
camo into her room, whero sho was sit
ting playing with her baby, nnd put
her in mind of it. Then she grieved
sorely at her misfortune, and snltU slfo

vain ; till at last her tears softened Iiimy
and ho said, "I will give you Hireo days',
grace, and if during that time you tell
mo my name, you shall keep your
child." '
Xow tho queen lay awake all night,
thinking of all the odd names that she
had over heard ; and sho sent messen
gers nil over the land to find up now
ones. The next day thollttloman camo
and sho began with Timothy, Ichabod,
Benjamin, Jercminh,nnd nil tho names
sho could remember ; but to do all and
each of theni he said, "Madam, that is
not my name."
Tho third day sho began with all tho
comical namesshe could hear of, Randy
legs, Hunch-back, Crook-shanks, and so
on : but tho littlo gentleman still said
toovery ono of them, "Madam, that Is
not my name."
Tho third day ono of tho nie.senger,s
camo back, and said, "I travelled two
days without hearing any other
names; but yesterday, as I was climb
ing a high hill, among tho trees of tho
forest whero tho fox and haro bid each

and beforo the hut burnt n littlo liro ;
and urouud tho tiro u funny littlo

I. They sew with two threads direct from tho
spools, nnd requiring no rewinding.
2. They nro moro caftlly understocKl nnd usod.
nnd Ions liablo to derangement than other ma
chines. 3. They nro capable of executing perfectly, with
out change, of adjustment, nmuch greater variety
of work than other machlncH,
4. Tho stitch mudo by theso machines U much
moro firm, elastic, nnd durable, especially upon
nrtlcles which rcqulro to bo washed nnd Ironed,
than nny other stitch.

plump nnd beautiful In use, and retain this
plumpness and beauty oven upon nrtlcles fre
quently washed nnd Ironed until they nro worn

It bo cut or broken nt Intervals of only n fow
stitches, It will neither open, run, nor ravel, hut
remain (Inn and durable.
7. Unllko other machines, thesa fasten both
ends of the senm by their own operation.
8. With thcM' machines, wbllo Milk U uned upon
the right or f.ieo hide of tho wnm, cotton may be
used Uon tho other side without lessening the
strength or durability of tho seam. This can be
douoon no other machine, nnd is n great waving
upon all articles stitched or mado up with silk.
y. These machines, In addition to their superior
merits as Instruments for sewing, by n change of
adjustment, easily learned nnd practised, execute
the most beautiful mid permanent embroidery
and ornamental work.
In addition to their family machine they have

exchange for tho other, thus giving tho publie the
advantage of this arrangement. They also muko
the newly Invented

forsewlng with tho Iok-Ktitch. It is of gieat
power uud strength, especially udapted for tallou,
shoemakers, harness-makers, cnrringo-trlmmern,
nnd for nil descriptions of work to which the
lock-stlteh I nppllenblo. It works with equal
facility silk, cotton, or linen thread, and HI sew
